“Once it became an equation, it was like, this is it; I did not pull this number out of a hat!”
Pricing is one of the most wince-worthy conversations for a lot of creatives! More than ever, we small business owners are feeling the weight of financial burden it can be to depend on income from clients who hire us for our artistic services.
Walk through Business Models, Pricing Strategy and my eye-opening Pricing Exercise with me to help you examine your own pricing structure and what might need to change to get to a place where you are paying yourself the wage that you need.
For a limited time, Workshop Segment 1 “Being a Business” is included as a Bonus Intro to this online course!
“SOMETIMES THE BUSINESS PART IS OVERWHELMING AND NOT FUN. JULIE MAKES IT EASY TO SEE THE POTENTIAL IN RUNNING YOUR BUSINESS EFFICIENTLY SO YOU’LL HAVE MORE TIME FOR THE FUN PART AND KNOW THAT THE BUSINESS SIDE IS TAKEN CARE OF ALSO. I HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER FIVE YEARS AND I AM SO THANKFUL THAT I INVESTED IN THIS WORKSHOP, AND AM EXCITED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES TO HELP MY BUSINESS FLOURISH.”
This is the part where we talk about spending less time at the computer, having less stress, and spending more time with our loved ones (or getting more sleep at night!).
Walk through Organization and Tracking, Communication Workflow and Templates, Forms, and Time Management.
“This part of the workshop gave me so many great ideas about how to run family sessions smoothly and not freeze up!”
See behind the curtain at how Julie runs family sessions — from gear to prompting to best-practices and tips — to give clients an experience that not only makes amazing images, but keeps them coming back year after year.
Segment covers both Outdoor and Indoor Sessions, including Julie’s Newborn Session set up.
Tackle the second biggest pain point for family photographers: File Management and a consistent system from cull to export. Also, walk through Julie’s hand-edit image processing workflow. Segment 8 was recorded before Julie’s presets became available. Watch this and buy Julie’s presets for the total package!

What you’ll get:
Access to the raw, unedited footage of Julie’s last business workshop, which was held online via Zoom during quarantine. The only snippets that have been removed are details shared by the live-students that included personal or sensitive information. This is not a perfectly scripted course with a pretty background and fancy audio, this is a REAL workshop, with real students — and Julie, unedited, at home, teaching her heart out on all the things she is passionate about for other family and portrait photography business owners.
Approximately 10 hours of footage broken up into eight segments.
Accompanying worksheets to each segment to help you take notes and organize your thoughts.
Join more than thirty family photographers who have taken Julie’s business workshop and come out on the other side with fewer headaches, better systems, and a chance at making real income doing what they love.

what workshop students are saying:
“JULIE’S WORKSHOP REALLY DID CHANGE MY ENTIRE PERSPECTIVE OF MY BUSINESS. I HAD DONE A LOT OF THE EXERCISES BEFORE, DEFINING MY IDEAL CLIENT AND EXAMINING THE CLIENT EXPERIENCE, BUT SHE PUTS IT ALL TOGETHER IN A WAY THAT LEAVES YOU WALKING AWAY WITH MORE CONFIDENCE TO BUILD YOUR BRAND AND EMBRACE WHAT YOU DO. SHE ALSO HAS SOME REALLY AMAZING TIME-SAVING TIPS AND SYSTEMS.”
“JULIE’S BRAIN WORKS IN AN AMAZING WAY AND PRESENTS THINGS, EVEN COMMON THINGS, IN A WHOLE NEW WAY. HER PRINCIPLES AND IDEAS LAY A GREAT FOUNDATION FOR THOSE JUST STARTING OUT, AND BRING A BREATH OF FRESH AIR TO THOSE POTENTIALLY NEARING BURN OUT. SHE IS GIFTED IN BOTH CREATIVITY AND BUSINESS, WHICH IS HARD TO COME BY. THIS WORKSHOP IS AN INCREDIBLE INVESTMENT.”
“I WISH I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP 3 YEARS AGO WHEN I STARTED. WHILE I WAS ABLE TO FIGURE SOME THINGS OUT ON MY OWN, THERE WAS SO MUCH THAT I WAS MISSING OUT ON AND JULIE’S WORKSHOP CONNECTED ALL THE DOTS FOR ME. IT SHOWED ME BEGINNING TO END OF RUNNING A SUCCESSFUL PHOTOGRAPHY/CREATIVE BUSINESS AND I AM AMAZED. SHE IS PATIENT AND KIND, MAKING YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE NO MATTER WHAT LEVEL YOU ARE AT. I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ANYONE!”
“TAKING THIS CLASS WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU LOOK AT YOUR BUSINESS. JULIE IS A TRUE PROFESSIONAL WITH INTEGRITY AND COMPASSION. TO SEE BEHIND THE SCENES OF HER SUCCESS AND HER WILLINGNESS TO BE TRANSPARENT IN HOPES THAT SHE CAN HELP YOU GROW AS A BUSINESS AND INDIVIDUAL IS AMAZING!”
“SOMETIMES THE BUSINESS PART IS OVERWHELMING AND NOT FUN. JULIE MAKES IT EASY TO SEE THE POTENTIAL IN RUNNING YOUR BUSINESS EFFICIENTLY SO YOU’LL HAVE MORE TIME FOR THE FUN PART AND KNOW THAT THE BUSINESS SIDE IS TAKEN CARE OF ALSO. I HAVE BEEN IN BUSINESS FOR OVER FIVE YEARS AND I AM SO THANKFUL THAT I INVESTED IN THIS WORKSHOP, AND AM EXCITED TO MAKE SOME CHANGES TO HELP MY BUSINESS FLOURISH.”
“THIS WORKSHOP IS THE PERFECT KICK IN THE BUTT FOR ANYONE STARTING A PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS AND START ON A GOOD FOOT, BUT IT IS ALSO THE PERFECT KICK IN THE BUTT FOR SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN RUNNING A “KIND OF” BUSINESS AND WANTS TO GET REAL LEGIT AND REAL ORGANIZED. THERE ARE SO MANY GREAT TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES SHARED BY JULIE TO ASSIST ANYONE IN THEIR BUSINESS WHILE STILL KEEPING THEIR OWN VOICE.”
“EVERYTHING THAT I LEARNED AT THIS WORKSHOP WOULD HAVE TAKEN ME YEARS TO DETERMINE ON MY OWN. TIME IS MONEY, AND I FEEL LIKE I AM MILES AHEAD NOW WITH A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE ON RUNNING MY PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS. I CAN BUILD A SOLID FOUNDATION FOR MY BUSINESS, AND TO ME THAT IS INVALUABLE. I WALKED AWAY FEELING ENERGIZED AND CONFIDENT FOR WHAT THE FUTURE HAS TO HOLD.”
“IF YOU ARE A PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER WHO IS FRUSTRATED WITH SOME ASPECTS OF YOUR BUSINESS, GIVE YOURSELF THE GIFT OF TAKING JULIE’S WORKSHOP. YOU WILL COME AWAY WITH IDEAS YOU CAN PUT INTO PRACTICE IMMEDIATELY TO START ENJOYING YOURSELF MORE. YOU WILL HEAR JULIE TALK ABOUT ALL ASPECTS OF BEING A PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER.”
